Topic

An updated pyparted package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The pyparted package contains Python bindings for the libparted library. It is primarily used by the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation software.

This update fixes the following bug:
